Abstract :
Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations are two of the most vital state variables which determine the quality of a polluted stream. The dynamics of these variables are governed by rate coefficients due to BOD removal (Kr), deoxygenation (Kd), reaeration (Ka), photosynthesis (P), respiration (R) and benthal deposits demand (B). In general, these parameters are distributed temporally and spatially and are sensitive to environmental conditions, such as temperature.
